Impact Narrative; Research Librarian Support Day February 8th 2016SusanMRob
This document summarizes a presentation about increasing emphasis on research impact outside of academia. It discusses why stakeholders are focusing more on impact, how to describe impact in funding applications, and examples of impact statements. Specifically, it notes that governments and other funders want evidence that research provides benefits beyond academic publications. Applicants should describe both realized and aspirational impacts in various sections of funding proposals. Impact statements for top publications should be 30 words and explain the significance or influence of the work.
Presented by Susan Maloney, MHS, Managing Senior Fellow and Senior Program Officer, Partnership for Prevention, and Yvonne Hamby, Project Director, JSI Research and Training Institute and Infertility Prevention Program, Region VIII at the 2010 National
The document discusses the broader impacts criteria that must be addressed in proposals submitted to federal funding agencies like the National Science Foundation and USDA. It provides examples of broader impacts elements that could be included, such as developing educational materials, engaging underrepresented groups, disseminating research to non-scientific audiences, and demonstrating societal benefits. The broader impacts criteria require applicants to consider how their work will promote areas beyond just the research itself, such as teaching, learning, public outreach, and policy influence.
Social Media Provides a Unique Platform for Clinical Information Exchange: Ex...Cheryl Crow
The "Pediatric Occupational Therapists" Facebook group consists of over 24,000 OTs, COTAs and students and provides a forum for members "assist, support and guide each other." Hundreds of posts are discussed weekly, yet little is understood about this relatively new medium. This poster contaisn a description of conversation content and a discussion of the potential benefits and drawbacks to engagement on this medium. Results show that the most frequently discussed topics are specific case scenarios and general clinical advice. Advantages of participation include real time clinical information sharing and clinical support, and drawbacks include privacy concerns and the lack of curation of information.
This document discusses the growth of online repositories for research and the emerging profession of repository management. It notes the increasing number of repositories in UK universities and the new skills and roles required to support them, such as metadata librarians and digital curation specialists. It describes support resources for repository staff, including the Repositories Support Project, training events, and the UK Council of Research Repositories professional organization. The document concludes that open access repositories have significantly impacted the information sector through the need for new repository management roles and skills.

Identifying outcomes and impact- monitoring and evaluation of research brokering and intermediation
Presentation by Anna Downie , Strategic Learning Initiative, IDS, UK at the Locating the Power of the In-between conference
From a talk to the Workshop on Integrated Strategy on Healthy Living and Chronic Diseases, Ottawa, February 2011.
Knowledge exchange is more than just a compilation or warehousing of data or information. To generate new knowledge we must infuse data with new meaning. We do this not in an additive way from single actions and data-bits, but by creating a story about the overall pattern embedded in events and data and then using that story to understand more clearly the events and data that gave rise to it.

Making effective policy use of academic expertiseblogzilla
The document discusses how academic expertise can help policymakers by providing deep knowledge, existing data and analysis for evaluating interventions, and networks of experts. It emphasizes that co-production between academics and policymakers is an effective model where personal and institutional networks are established to collaboratively develop evidence-based policy. Appropriate use of academic expertise can significantly improve policymaking quality and reduce reputational risks when academics and policymakers work together through organizations like the Open Innovation Team.
This document provides guidance on writing impact statements for grant applications. It discusses funder expectations around impact, defining impact, knowledge exchange activities, identifying potential beneficiaries, effective engagement strategies, and tips for developing a credible impact plan. Resources for further assistance are also listed. The overall aim is to help researchers understand how to plan for and communicate potential societal and economic impacts from their work beyond academia.
ESRC Knowledge Brokerage conference: the third sectorKarl Wilding
The panel discussed three approaches to knowledge exchange between academia, policymakers, and practitioners in the third sector. The Third Sector Research Centre aims to bridge gaps and build understanding between these groups to inform policy and practice. Their approach includes establishing advisory boards and reference groups, producing accessible research, and using various dissemination methods. Knowledge exchange partnerships were also discussed as a way to transfer knowledge between universities and organizations while benefiting all parties.
This talk outlines the need to transform education using research evidence. It suggests considering the connections between research, policy, and practice rather than fixing priorities based on headlines. The speaker discusses the process of finding and making sense of existing evidence through reviews and current research. Challenges include a lack of strong, relevant evidence at large scales and disconnects between research and interventions. Promising initiatives include collaboration between schools/colleges and researchers, and evidence communication tools. However, more integrated, large-scale work is still needed to identify priority problems, accumulate sound evidence, and apply evidence in a connected system.

A workshop from Museums and the Web 2009.
This half-day workshop will explore the use of social media (blogs, wikis, digital stories etc.) to support museum communication. The workshop will address:
* The range of web-based social media available to museums.
* The issues that will arise in planning for such applications.
* How to anticipate/address such issues.

This thesis project extends current research on how Product-Service/ Systems (PSS) increase the competitiveness of what businesses provide to society. In particular, when the significant stakeholders who create value, structured as a network, are also involved in the co- development of the value proposition. Applying the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD), this study looks at how the early stages of a strategic planning process for sustainability could improve this co-development of PSS. The field research helped to understand the particularities of co-developing PSS and how the planning process could be adapted using the FSSD. As a result, theoretical dimensions, and general guidelines to put these into practice, are recommended in a model. The theoretical dimensions were field tested and refined. It was discovered that when creating the aspirational goals of the network, including other perspectives, in addition to companies and the customer’s, could expand the perception of value available to be provided. To do so is proposed a systematic understanding of the situation, and its socio-ecological context, where the activities of the value-based network of stakeholders are performed.
Presentation by ESRC at Interface workshop, 23rd June 2011, about ESRC's strategic priorities, maximising impact and knowledge exchange funding and support available from ESRC
The document discusses various approaches to measuring the value and impact of public engagement activities. It presents examples of evidence that could demonstrate engagement's influence, such as changes in policy, practice or communities. Methods are described, like outcome mapping, case studies and social network analysis, that can evaluate engagement's role in the policy process. The importance of learning during and after projects is emphasized.
This document proposes an online/offline platform to promote sustainability. It would provide environmental content, opportunities for collaboration on green actions, and tools to help people reflect on and experience sustainability issues. The goal is to build a social network for green communities, professionals, students, and others to exchange ideas, knowledge and promote sustainable practices through community projects, educational resources, and networking.
This presentation was given by Julia Day at a research communications capacity building workshop at the Institute of Development Studies in April 2008.
This document provides an overview of science communication and tips for engaging in it. It discusses reasons to do science communication such as open science, combating fake news, and professional and personal development. It emphasizes the importance of considering stakeholders and using storytelling. It recommends showing passion, being personal, telling the right story well, being a leader, and building a community of support. The document advises practicing communication skills, looking for mentors, caring about one's digital presence, networking, and choosing an approach that fits one's personality and research area.
Finding the best structure to support impact - case of IDC at Ghent UniversityEsther De Smet
The document outlines the two stage approach taken by Ghent University to establish interdisciplinary research consortia aimed at societal impact (IDC). In stage one, five social science consortia were formed with dedicated coordinators and underwent research assessments focusing on strategy, quality, and impact. In stage two, the social science consortia transitioned to IDCs with open-ended coordinator contracts and were required to create impact plans. The university also began accepting applications for new IDCs and evaluated consortia and coordinators qualitatively based on organization, interdisciplinarity, and impact. The goal was to better support research with societal impact through dedicated structures, people, and assessment procedures.

Impact support for research administratorsEsther De Smet
Workshop for NARMA on how research admin can collaborate across departments and work with researchers to motivate, promote, identify, and describe impact - March 2019
Digital scholarly practices are evolving. Researchers now have online presences and share information via social media platforms, which can increase visibility and citations. Metrics now track how research is discussed online, through mentions on platforms like Twitter. While these "alternative metrics" or "altmetrics" correlate with citations, social media discussions do not necessarily predict traditional citation impact. Altmetrics provide additional contextual information about research impact and engagement beyond citations alone.
1) Ghent University is working to create a supportive impact culture by developing common understanding, taxonomy, and roadmap around impact.
2) This includes open science policies, research evaluation frameworks, and rewards/incentives for impactful research like career progression and funding requirements.
3) The university is taking a case study approach to impact evaluation and investing in knowledge brokers to strengthen impact trajectories across interdisciplinary research areas.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
